Research On The Difference Of Inbound Tourism Scale In Hubei Province

Difference of regional tourism is the objective existence, it is a result of the combined action of various factors in a region. The existence and change of the differences of regional tourism can produce several impacts of economic, social and environment. With the rapid development of tourism industry, the difference of regional tourism is increasingly significant, and the resulting problems and negative effects will hinder the health development of regional tourism. Therefore, analyzing the characteristic of the difference of regional tourism, it has theoretical and practical significance to guide the reasonable development of regional tourism industry.This thesis is based on the regional development theory, unbalanced growth theory, industrial competition and other related theory. Relevant indicators, primacy degree, rank-size theory, ordinal equilibrium are chosen to analyze deeply the difference of inbound tourism scale of 17 cities in Hubei province and analyze the reason for the difference, then propose development proposals. The conclusions are:(1) The general difference of inbound tourism scale in Hubei province is obvious and has the tendency of increase. It is less competition between cities of Hubei. The absolute difference is big and expanding. Relative difference is small and relatively stable. Absolute difference of inbound tourism scale is bigger, relative difference is relatively stable. The inbound tourism scale in Hubei focuses on the front six cities for a long time, and the concentration trendency continuously strengthen.(2)The inner diversity of inbound tourism scale in Hubei province is obvious. Inbound tourism scale of the intercity diversity is very big and stable in development. From the zone, area difference is greater than the difference between regions. Inbound tourism diversity in Hubei is mainly caused by area difference. Area difference is in narrow, difference between regions is in increase. In area difference, the contribution rate of Wuhan city circle is greater than the contribution rate of western Hubei eco-culture circle. Wuhan city circle is the main contributor of inbound tourism diversity. The contribution rate of western Hubei eco-culture circle is in reducing and contribution rate of Wuhan city circle is in increasing which lead to the separation of them.(3)Inbound tourism scale in Hubei conforms to and nears the rank-size distribution model. In sequence, most of the order of cities have increased in inbound tourism scale, a few fell. A significant gap between the first city and the second city, and has a tendency to expand. In the sequence change, a few cities are in a stable state, most of the cities in sequence fluctuation is bigger. In rank-size, primacy degree of inbound tourism scale in Hubei is obvious. Inbound tourism scale and sequence have a high fitting degree, conforming to the order-size distribution. The gap of the primacy city and the biggest ideal value is small, the gap at the end of the cities and the ideal value is big, it shows that the first urban has a natural development; at the end of the cities development space is larger.(4)The orderly difference values of inbound tourism scale in Hubei are less than the actual difference values. In the ideal model of Jeff, ideal values are within the reasonable threshold. Orderly difference degree under the order-rank distribution is less than the actual difference value under the absolute equilibrium. The development trendency of orderly difference consistent with the actual difference.It verifies that orderly difference degree is reasonable to measure rationality inbound tourism volume in Hubei(5)Regional economic level, tourism resource endowment, regional traffic facilities, government industrial policy is the main influence factors of inbound tourism scale in Hubei province. Put forward the policies of the integration of regional tourism resources, improve the transport infrastructure, strengthen regional tourism cooperation, and establish reasonable industrial policy to promote the coordinated development of area inbound tourism in Hubei.The article has many disadvantages. Due to the short time period of datas, it is difficult to fully reflect the changing process of the difference of inbound tourism scale in Hubei province; Only the inbound tourism revenue are selected to represent the development and change of the difference of inbound tourism scale in Hubei province, the analysis level is not very widely and deeply; Only a few of the most representative factors are chosen, it can’t make a comprehensive analysis of influence factors; In the study of strategy, the strategies are not in-depth and detailed.
